Wise, witty, honest & unafraid to skewer when it matters; its erudite & entertaining & a veritable romp thru history & context... if you read anything or can bear to read a whole book on #brexit let it be this

Use code SNOWFLAKES at checkout on https://writesideleft.com for a nice treat till tomorrow night on any of our Ebooks. They‘re all beautifully written. Support those maligned young #snowflakes particularly with If This Then That!

Go on : it‘s where it‘s all at! If you want to read a 55 pp explanation of a new paradigm for #trust that we NEED to understand... give it a go! #blockchain. And don‘t worry: it‘s miles above Trump‘s pay grade & no way can he tweet about it :)

‘All the Pieces Matter‘ - & they so do. A lightening fast read, informative & entertaining, & delightful, a worthy oral history of the making of surely TV‘s best ever drama & finest collaborative writing. The Definitive TV Novel!

This might be the slowest read ever of a page-turner. But I will do it :)

A book that‘s been adapted for tv & film so many times that‘s got to mean something ? ( my fave is the one with Gerard Depardieu) friendship obsession riches love revenge (oh my) & reconciliation : the fastest ‘long read‘ ever - be warned: if you start it your loved ones will be studiously kindly ignored for a few days... :)

ReadZenRites One of the assigned books I actually enjoyed in 9th grade. 😊 6y

Sometimes you have to hang the book on the wall. Then you walk past & respond to the decadence with more decadence :)

Ok : if you‘re a lit grad maybe it‘s not so easy: but Richard Feynman knows how to talk ( the book is from his lectures) & write: he‘s lyrical & inquisitive. He writes physics as if it‘s poetry... the imagination stretched beyond the universe... (apparently there might be more than one) which is what physics is... the mind boggles merrily in his company... but don‘t ask me if I understood :)

There are books & there are books. Tolstoy thought it wasn‘t even a novel. Once you‘ve broken the spine, you‘re safe. An act of vandalism you‘ll never regret. Hover & swoop: that‘s what he did, like a majestic bird of prey. Never mind the names you‘ll never remember till you‘re 100 pp in - a ‘bucket list‘ book is it not, because it alters the reader forever... & we don‘t have forever to regret not being thus altered :)

#HenryJames : his (little known) personal fave work. A stonkingly perfect gripping easy to read page-turner in 3 exquisite acts - to give any best-seller a run for its money! Miss this book & you miss out!
